BThen comes July, and with its examinations, but these are soon finished and end the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two monthsholiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers. The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that they can spend most of their time playing in the garden or, for those who live in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if a child lives in a big town, he or she can usually go to a park to play. The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something that they will talk about for the whole of the following year. In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpoor or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so. Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sunshine more than anything else . Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under ones feet, of salt water on ones skin, and of the warm sunshine on ones back that make the seaside what it is.4. The summer holiday lasts _.A. About two months B. more than two months.C.One and a half months D. much less than two months 5. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can_. A. stay with their parents for all the vacation. B. do more reading C. play out of doors D. meet their old friends.6. What is the best place for the children? A. Seaside B. Garden C. Park D. Field7. Children like the seaside so much, because they can _. A. swim in the sea B. play with the sand C. take a sun bath D. all of the above.CInternet use appears to cause a drop in psychological（心理上的）health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression (沮丧) and loneliness than those who used the Internet less frequently, the two-year study showed. And it wasnt that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzled(迷惑) by the results, which were completely the opposite to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than televisions, since the Net allows users to choose the information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may explain the drop in health, researchers thought. Faceless, “virtual “communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower(更浅的）, Another possibility is that knowing the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives. “But its important to remember this is not about the technology; it is about how it is used,”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the studys founders. “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications(应用) and services for technology.”8.The writers attitude towards technology is _.A. technology was to blame for depression. B. the problem doesnt lie in technology. C. social factors must be considered while using technology. D. applications and services for technology must be designed.9.Why did the results of research puzzle the researchers?A. They had expected the opposite results.B. They had thought the Internet was much healthier.C. People could communicate with others.D. People could choose information through the Internet.10.Which of the following may be the cause of depression?A.Net users already have had mental problems.B.Net users had less time to communicate with other people.C.Deep relationships were formed through the Internet.D.Net users found their living conditions bad.11.The best title of the passage probably is_.A. The Danger of the InternetB. Puzzled by the Results.C. Internet May Cause Depression.D. Communication with Others on the Internet. DI grew up in the 1950s with very practical parents. My mother washed aluminum foil(铝箔纸) after she cooked in it , and then she reused it. She was the original recycle queen before people had a name for it.My father was no different. He preferred getting old shoes fixed to buying new ones. Their marriage was good and their dreams were focused. Their best friends lived nearby. Though my parents have passed away, I can see them now-Dad in trousers, a T-shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawnmower(割草机) in one hand and dishtowel in the other. It was the time to fix things-a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, the screen door, the oven door, and so on. They fixed all things we had. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing and renewing made me want to scream. I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant being rich. Throwing things away meant you knew there would always be more. I often thought like that. But then my mother died, and on that clear summers night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I learned that sometimes there isnt any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away and it will never return. So, while we have it , it is the best that we love it, care for it, fix it when it is broken and heal it when it is sick.This is true for marriage, old cars, children with bad report cards and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it and because we are worth it.12.By saying she has practical parents, the writer means her parents_.A. Liked buying very cheap things.B. Liked making use of other people.C. Liked reusing things and hated wasting.D. Liked practising the same thing over and over.13. What does the underlined part “ passed away “ in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Died B. Moved. C.changed D. improved14.We can infer that when the writer was young, she _. A. thought highly of her parentshabits. B. often helped her parents fix old things. C. often threw things away without being noticed. D. sometimes hated it when her parents fixed old things.15 What is the writers purpose in writing the passage?A. To advise us to love what we have.B. To encourage us to recycle old things.C. To explain why her parents recycled.D. To help us know about life in the past.第二节（共5小题；每小题4分，满分20分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever seen the pictures of those people who struggle ever day for just a few drops of water?
